July 5, 2018 THE TEMPERATURE IS RISING, AND IT’S TIME TO RELAX AND CURL UP WITH A GOOD BOOK AS ‘THE LADIES GET LIT’ ON ABC’S ‘THE VIEW,’ JULY 9 – 13 From thrillers and books heading to the big screen to politics, fantasy and the classics, “The Ladies Get Lit” all next week on ABC’s “The View” (11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT). Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain come from different backgrounds with different points of view and that also applies to their summer reading picks. Each day the week of JULY 9–13, the co-hosts are sharing their favorite books to help you unwind, escape, learn and laugh, and you just might be surprised who is recommending a parenting guide. All week long, “The View” will be sharing daily updates on abcnews.com/theview and the show’s official social media platforms, including excerpts from the books on the list and videos of the co- hosts reading passages from their selections. Celebrating Season 21, “The View” (11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT) is the place to be heard with live broadcasts five days a week. Hilary Estey McLoughlin serves as senior executive producer with Candi Carter and Brian Teta as executive producers. “The View” is directed by Sarah de la O.
